Template WG Meeting Notes
- Held Thu 6 Dec 2018 at Team Meeting 2018, Cape Town
- Attending: Ivan Andrian, Jan Chrin, Volker Schaa, Todd Satogata
- Action items are in bold
Actions
- Todd will contact Overleaf to request removal of old JACoW templates from Overleaf Gallery
- Jan has added a link to the Overleaf JACoW Template on the Authors/LaTeX template page
- Meghan McAteer (HZB, ERL'20) is also considering putting a link directly to the Overleaf template on her conference guidance documentation
Short-Term Considerations
These are items considered before IPAC'18. None of them appear controversial in the next template release.
- Remove the postal codes from the template
- Include a link to the document on official abbreviations for journals
- Update the membership of the JACoW collaboration, and add photo from Team Meeting 2018
Longer-Term Considerations
These are items to be discussed further and raised with the community for consideration.
- Consider changing titles and sections (and subsections) to sentence case
- We spent time during the meeting looking at some sample papers with these reformatted.
- The papers did not obviously look bad; they for the most part looked okay.
- Also evaluated recent papers from PR:AB and NIM to see what is industry standard
- Actions: identify differences with current standards, test format alternatives on a sample of recent JACoW papers
- We may add this as an agenda item to the next Stakeholder's Meeting
- References
- Rohan has considered offering citation prizes at IPAC'19
- Can we provide faster ways for authors to get citations pre-formatted?
- Add a properly-formatted citation to the paper? (Authors often do not see the citation links in the proceedings since they find papers with search engines)
- JACoW bibtex/biblatex style
- A style is needed since we significantly deviate from the IEEE style; some discussion at IPAC'18
- Volker will follow up to see how difficult it is to develop such a style
